I merely made noted something that might be of interest to cyclists,
and to those who know Patrick (a cyclist and hi-fi designer). I repeat
my entirely inoffensive post below in its entirety so everyone can
judge whether Sundquists snippy comment is relevant.

If it isn't of interest to you, Sundquist, why not have the good
manners simply to pass by? Why make yourself look like a fool with
such a crassly juvenile comment? Why do you try so hard to ruin the
newsgroup experience for everyone else? Looks to me like you're the
one who wants to be Ruler of RBT and tell us who can say what here.

Here is my original again for those who care about cycling rather than
scoring cheap points on the internet:

Patrick Turner tells us:

"In 1927, when the road was mainly a dirt track, my father cycled
from Sydney to Cairns. He was much fitter than I was at the same
age."

He must have been. it is 1700 miles on today's direct roads. It was
probably a long way over 2000 miles on the dirt tracks of the 1927.

What do you know about the bike he used, Patrick?
